Android Automotive now lets apps show your food order status and more on your car’s home screen

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Android Authority –

  • Android Automotive OS is getting a new feature called AppCard, which allows apps to display their most relevant data and functions on the home screen.
  • AppCards can display information like the status of a food order, but the visual styling of these cards is controlled by carmakers, not app developers.
  • It’s unclear whether the feature will require the latest version of Android Automotive, though.

When you’re driving, your focus should be on the road, but sometimes you need to glance at your car’s infotainment screen for an alert. Google’s operating system for car infotainment screens, Android Automotive OS, already provides numerous ways to quickly catch up on alerts and will soon add another in the form of app cards on the home screen.

In the new version of Android Automotive, the home screen features a large, dedicated card for Google Maps and a smaller media player card between the status and navigation bars. Past releases also included a dedicated card for showing the weather at the current location. Until now, these home screen cards were provided by the OS, with no way for app developers to add their own. This approach keeps the home screen clean and consistent, allowing drivers to quickly view key information without futzing with the UI. The downside, however, is that drivers have to open individual apps to get updates on information not available on the home screen, like the status of a takeout food order.
